How to Throw a Great Children’s Party

Nov 26, 2012 | Rita

By: Steven Depolo

Finding new and effective ways to make your children’s party fun can be challenging. Since there are many different factors that go into doing something that’s exciting for everybody involved. So whether it’s a birthday party or a Halloween party, you need to plan things out to make sure it’s an event to remember.

In the following article we look into what you should do to throw a great party that your children and their friends will love…

Work Out a Party Theme

One of the fun parts of throwing a children’s party is you get to work with your kids to create a suitable theme. When creating the theme, you need to keep your child’s interests in mind. Look into their favorite movies, cartoons or sports and design your theme around them.

Also, the party’s theme should be created around the age and gender of the other kids that are going to be invited. Since you want all the guests to feel welcome and have fun. You’ll find that there are many, many popular party themes to choose from, for both boys and girls of all ages.

Choose a Proper Venue

Where do you want to hold the party? Deciding on the venue is something you should do early on. It’s always a good idea chose birthday party venues, that are easily accessible by other parents. Also, choosing between an outdoor location or an indoor one completely depends on how predictable the weather is.

If you want the party experience to be stress free then it would make sense to go for a children’s fun center, since it has got trained staff to look after the kids. They also have family friendly restaurants or cafes attached to them. If nothing works out, you can always throw the party at your home!

Serve Delicious Snacks

The food that you have for the party doesn’t have to be heavy. Small snacks that children can have on the go should be enough. But do set up a buffet table since the kids will be too busy to playing to sit down and eat.

Besides the traditional snacks, get creative with the kind of food you’re serving. For example, you can buy one of those Hawaiian Shaved Ice Machines to make your own shaved ice and snow cones – kids love such stuff.

Plan Out Party Games

Party games don’t have to be competitive in nature. What’s important is that all the kids have fun playing them. See to it that everybody gets a chance to win.

There are many enjoyable games that you can plan out, such as a scavenger hunt, balloon race, sack race, musical chairs, etc. You can give away some good themed prizes to the kids at the end of the day.

Regardless of what age your child is, you will find that throwing a fun, exciting party for his or her friends can be a memorable event. So go ahead and start planning!

    Great post, i thought it would be just for younger kids-mine are teens, but there isn’t any reason I couldn’t have a Twilight theme party for my 14 yr old daughter and I love scavenger hunts-they’re perfect for any age.

    Part games are the best kids don’t like to just watch someone open presents and eat cake, the best part of the party are the games

    I always liked to do party favors too something for the kids to take home- simple bags filled with treats of some kind are always a hit

    Great ideas! Kids need space for parties–space where it is okay to run and be loud.
